Urges federal government to refrain from implementing any ban on gas powered appliances in residential or commercial buildings.

SCR 18 is a New Jersey concurrent resolution urging the federal government not to ban natural gas-powered appliances in homes and businesses. It specifically asks Congress and the President to avoid restricting appliances like cooktops, ovens, furnaces, and water heaters. The resolution cites New Jersey data showing 73% of households use natural gas for heating and 69% for cooking, alongside national statistics on widespread gas appliance use. As a non-binding resolution, it expresses the state's position but does not create new law.
